Working Dogs for Conservation (WD4C)
Working Dogs for Conservation scientist-detection dog teams locate targets of the utmost importance to 
wildlife and wild land conservation. Helping imperiled species requires quality data on whereabouts and population demographicsādata which can be hard to come by for rare species. To this end, conservation detection dogs have proven to be an important tool, frequently providing data more efficiently than other methods, or succeeding where other methods fail.
Leaders in the field since 2000, Working Dogs for Conservation has worked in over a dozen countries on more than 40 species. Working Dogs for Conservation collaborates with select partnersāsuch as wildlife and land management agencies, universities, and other nonprofit conservation organizationsāwho are positioned to parlay our teamsā data into meaningful conservation outcomes.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)
Founded in 1969, the International Fund for Animal Welfare saves individual animals, animal populations and habitats all over the world. With projects in more than 40 countries, IFAW provides hands-on assistance to animals in need and advocates for saving populations from cruelty and depletion.
IFAW addresses companion animal welfare by providing urgent, hands-on care and helping communities create their own sustainable plans to ensure dogs and cats are safe and healthy for the long term. We believe that everyone should be able to experience the joy of positive relationships with dogs and cats, and we work closely with communities to allow humane attitudes to flourish while ensuring they are able to meet the basic needs of their animals.
